Chapter 026: Deep Thoughts
The old man glanced at Lu lightly: "Do you know where the White Salt Tribe is?"
"You know, isn't it a little farther away? That's why we came to your Dapeng tribe first, but if the Dapeng tribe really can't afford the price we want, then no matter how far it goes, for the tribe to survive, we can only go to the white salt tribe." ”
An old man and a young man looked at each other, Lu smiled lightly and calmly, the old man's eyes changed, and suddenly he showed a smile like an old tree blooming: "The White Salt Tribe doesn't interact with the living, what should you do if you suddenly go over and be treated as an enemy? ”
Lu Qingqing knew that this old guy was finally moved by her, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and flattered with a smile: "Yes, yes, of course, we still believe in the Dapeng tribe more." ”
The next thing is to bargain, a hundred packs of salt Dapeng tribe is unwilling to pay, and in the end, it is only willing to give seventy packs in exchange for the consumption method of demon taro, in fact, this value is already higher than Lu Qing expected. The fern root was eaten in exchange for live animals, and it was finally agreed that there would be forty curly sheep.
The so-called curly sheep is also sheep, Lu gently followed them to their sheepfold to take a look, it turned out that a pit was dug in the ground, no wonder I didn't see it before.
In a small dirt pit was a pile of sheep with a stinking smell of ashes, and they didn't run when they saw people, and they looked like they were going to die.
Later, they were pulled up one by one, and Lu gently found that it was not that they didn't want to move, but I was afraid that they had no strength to move, and their heads were shriveled and skinny, shivering in the cold wind, if it weren't for that hair, I am afraid that there would be a skeleton left.
Lu lightly felt that he had been deceived, how many catties of meat can this sheep have all over his body? Not to mention changing two packs of salt to the head of the White Salt Tribe, it would be good to have half a pack, maybe he would die directly on the way, and he couldn't change half a grain of salt.
Lu shook his head slightly: "Aren't you too kind?"
The old man didn't come to the sheepfold, but the young man, that is, the grandson of the old man, the young chief of the Dapeng tribe, Zhan.
Zhan smiled embarrassedly: "It's good to raise it." ”
The Dapeng tribe has been here for a long time, and there are many people, and there is nothing to eat after winter, so they focus on the grass and leaves, and they don't know how much they have to eat at the end of the day, so they make the surrounding area like locusts crossing the border, and even the bark is stripped away. People have nothing to eat, these sheep can only go hungry, but the Qinglu tribe is different, although it is also snowy, but there is still grass under the snow layer, and it should not be a big problem to feed forty sheep.
But it was not easy to bring these sheep back to the Qinglu tribe alive, and the Dapeng tribe had some losses, so Lu said that he had borrowed ten people from the Dapeng tribe to "escort" the forty sheep across Mengmeng Mountain.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, the mountains and forests are full of snow, everything is silent, only the occasional sound of snow falling from the branches, and a group of people with a flock of sheep in the mountains, it is like a delicious live target, to always be on the lookout for hungry and crazy beasts to rush out.
Lu gently scattered the heads, bones, and fur of the tiger she had hunted before around the sheepfold, and at that time she also collected the tiger's blood and urine and froze it into ice cubes, and now smashed it and sprinkled it all around, the tiger is the king of all beasts, even if there are wild beasts around, they dare not act rashly when they smell this smell.
This allowed them to avoid a lot of danger on the way back.
"Deer, seeing that the distance is more than halfway, when will you teach us the method of tree roots?" This day exhibition couldn't help but run over and ask, Lu Qingqing refused to hand over the practice of fern root glutinous rice cakes, the matter was very important, and the Dapeng tribe could only send the young chief to follow in person.
"Don't be impatient. Lu gently grabbed a handful of fresh grass roots dug out of the snow with his left hand and fed a sheep, and gently touched the sheep's neck with his right hand, and the faint heat from the right kidney crossed into the sheep's body, and the sheep screamed meekly and happily twice, and his eyes brightened a little, but in the eyes of others, it was a manifestation of being happy to eat grass.
Eat and sleep well and grow stronger, Lu gently muttered silently in his heart, Miss Ben's dinner this winter is counting on you.
Zhan looked at her leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but feel angry, he couldn't understand why someone walked in the mountains in such a cold weather but didn't worry at all, and the ten people from their tribe didn't dare to close their eyes, either for fear of being attacked by wild beasts, or for fear that the wind and snow would suddenly become bigger.
What made him even more puzzled was that the day before yesterday he accidentally touched Lu Qingqing's hand and was shocked to find that her hand was hot.
It was so hot that it seemed to be roasting on the fire all the time, and it was no wonder that even the strongest of them sometimes shrank her neck and shivered, but she didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all.
If Lu Qingqing knew his thoughts, he would definitely scoff at him, who is not afraid of the cold, she is just pretending to be forced, and almost all the energy of her right kidney is used to keep warm, but this lasts only two or three hours a day, and when no one pays attention to her, she is crowded in the sheep pile to keep warm, making her smelly, but embarrassed.
"Whoosh!" a few arrows rang out, and someone leapt down from the treetops, ran away vigorously, and then swished back with the wind.
Zhan and the others became vigilant and clenched the stone knife, but saw that it was a big city that jumped out of the dry forest.
Dacheng was dressed in a lean and warm animal skin, with two thick and strong arms exposed in the cold wind, holding a crossbow machine in one hand and a snow hare with one eye shot through in the other, and walked up to Lu Qingqing: "I have been guarding for a long time, and I only hunted this." ”
The reason why Lu Qing is relaxed is because there is a big city where they are always on guard, they squat on the trees, hide behind the stones, and are always on guard against the wind and grass around them, and as soon as there is movement, the crossbow arrows in their hands will shoot out at once, taking the enemy's life.
That's what they did on the way to the Dapeng tribe.
Lu gently lifted the snow rabbit and said with a smile, "I have meat to eat at noon." ”
Zhan and the others relaxed, looking at the crossbow machine in Dacheng's hand with hot eyes, they also followed Lu Qingqing on the road before they knew that this thing was not an ornament at all, but a powerful weapon, thinking that when they were in the cave, if Lu Qingqing and they suddenly attacked, the Dapeng tribe did not know how many people would be killed or injured, they were in a cold sweat, and their fear of the Qinglu tribe was also deeper.
"Deer, how the hell is this weapon made?" Zhan couldn't help but ask.
Lu said lightly: "Keep it secret, let's trade this again if we have the opportunity next year." ”
Zhan was a little disappointed, but the answer was reasonable.
Dacheng suddenly whispered something in Lu Qingqing's ear, and Lu asked softly, "Are you sure?"
"It's not too bad. ”
"Alright, Zhan, let's talk about how to eat this root. Lu said softly.
Zhan was overjoyed: "Are you willing to say it?"
"I was meant to teach you, but you have to leave as soon as you learn it. Lu gently met Zhan's puzzled gaze, "The people from our tribe who came to pick up are already on the way, and they will arrive here soon." ”
Zhan's face changed slightly, thinking that the woman and a young man from the Qinglu tribe who had not been able to see it in the past few days turned out to be back to call someone.
The people of the Qinglu tribe came, even if they had any thoughts, they could only rest, and they originally wanted to sneak around the Qinglu tribe to explore the depths, but now it is not possible.
This deer is really thoughtful.
